This programme seeks to create spaces for reflection and mutual learning for educators, through three modules that combine theory and practice. These meetings will have artists and researchers participating and will focus on three thematic axes: education as a political act, pedagogical renovations and the relationship with the environment and diversity.
This programme is based on the research carried out by the Manifesta 15 Education Department, 'Fora per fer Escola', which focuses on the progressive educational initiatives that took place in Catalonia before and after the Franco dictatorship.
Specifically, in this module we will talk about two key pedagogical situations reflecting on education to imagine more inclusive and sustainable futures: the Escola de Bosc and the Vil·la Joana, a special education school. For the session on the 10th of May, we will have Antonio Centeno, Costa Badía and Empar Puerto to discuss diversity and the relationship between the school and the community environment. On Saturday the 11th of May the meeting will continue with a joint work session led by Alba Oller. Reflections on the current situation of the teachers based on from the previous day's conversation will be discussed through exercises and practical discussions.
We encourage those working in education and interested in reflecting on teaching to participate in the sessions. The programme will conclude with the creation of teaching material applicable to the educational context.
